Best Hispanic food in town ... Friendly service and great food. Came for a solo session and my plate has nothing left on it. They have lunch specials from 12pm-2pm. Everything on the lunch menu is 7.99. Nice spot to eat lunch and just the right amount of portions.

They have the best salsa that I have ever tasted! Huge portions, very reasonably priced. The chorizo taco was amazing. The carnitas taco was a little too fatty, but he did ask me if I wanted the skin on it and I said yes because that sounded interesting. When I overpaid, they ran out to the parking lot to make sure I got my money back. Very very nice staff. Very little English but most of the menu is in English as well.

They didn't seem at all concerned with whether I was there, or if I ever came back. That said, the staff was really friendly when spoken to. The environment was comfortable, and quiet. The food... Outstanding!
